11 -
60 grams powdered sugar
12 -
30 millilitres pure maple syrup
13 -
15–30 millilitres milk, as needed for consistency
# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat oven to 175°C. Grease and flour a 20x20 centimetre baking pan to prevent sticking.
02 -
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg until evenly distributed.
03 -
In a large mixing bowl, blend melted butter and brown sugar until smooth and glossy.
04 -
Add eggs and vanilla extract to the butter mixture. Beat until fully combined for a uniform texture.
05 -
Gradually fold the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Avoid over-mixing.
06 -
Gently fold in the chopped apples, ensuring even distribution throughout the batter.
07 -
Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan. Smooth the surface. Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the centre emerges clean.
08 -
Remove the pan from the oven and allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
09 -
While cooling, whisk powdered sugar, pure maple syrup, and milk together, adding milk gradually to achieve a smooth, pourable consistency.
10 -
Drizzle the maple glaze evenly over the cooled brownies. Cut into squares and serve.
# Notes:
01 -
For a balanced flavour, select tart apple varieties such as Granny Smith.
02 -
Ensure brownies are fully cooled before glazing to achieve a neat finish.
